‘The Office' star pushes back on MSNBC host blaming media distrust on Trump and Musk
'The Office' star Rainn Wilson has shut down an MSNBC host's claim that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are at fault for the lack of trust in the media.
MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle sat down with the actor on his 'Soul Bloom' podcast on April 17, where she made her claim.
Ruhle suggested that the mistrust in the press came from US President Donald Trump's election win and Musk's 'media machine'.
Rainn pushed back on Ruhle's comments, arguing that the lack of media trust is due to left-wing networks not covering issues during the Biden Administration.
'This is where I would push back when I see this kind of insight and passion being directed at the current administration and the lack of this kind of insight and passion being directed at the previous administration, where again, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about left-leaning news media organizations were kind of like, 'La la la la, everything's fine',' Wilson said.

G7 Summit will be a test of Albanese's diplomatic skill
Donald Trump has thrown another curveball at the US-Australia alliance by launching a Pentagon review of the $368 billion AUKUS trilateral defence pact to determine whether it serves America's national economic and security interests. It's reasonable to question the motives behind the probe. Trump's 'America First Agenda' has already sparked a tariff war and destabilised the international rules-based order. Meanwhile, the president's transactional diplomacy, such as threatening to withdraw US troops from Ukraine and questioning the relevance of longstanding defence alliances, has cast a cloud over America's reliability as a credible security partner.
